The device uses an Android Webkit full HTML browser, providing PC-like web browsing and its specs list also includes WiFi support, 3G connectivity, a 3.1 inch HVGA touchscreen (320 x 480 pixels), a navigation-oriented touch pad behind the screen and a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash.

Google Talk, POP3/IMAP mail are also supports, as well as 24 fps video capture and on board you’ll also find an E-compass, aGPS, accelerometer, a microSD card slot, a 1400 mAh and 3.5mm audio jack.

Sick. I am excited about this. I wasn't sure at first since I'm more of an HTC Windows Mobile lover, but this has potential. You can't beat the price either, heck, I paid $350 for my Tilt 2 with an upgrade.
